I was waiting for the vintage or at least the proof and provenance (I was thinking Kentucky), but your ultimate choice of turpentine reminded me of a studio mate, a retired professor of philosophy from Georgetown (and me, very anciently a philosophy major), who once told me, "I love the smell of turpentine so much, I wish I could drink it!"

He and I weren't always broadcasting on the same personality wavelength, and I understood at the time that I'd have exposed a dual motivation by saying "Why don't you, then?", and so I didn't. I've not always been as circumspect on the Forum, but there you go.

I realize that this isn't quite on topic, but I've been flummoxed in my effort to figure out what would be.
